The Milton Zoning Board of Appeals approved a special permit for a front porch addition on a pre-existing, non-conforming house.
Other Committee · Meeting of May 19, 2026
MILTON — The Milton Zoning Board of Appeals approved a special permit for a front porch addition on a pre-existing, non-conforming house. A board member said the house's lot is a little more than 5,000 square feet and that the porch's setback falls short of the roughly 18-foot requirement, estimating it at "14 something," though exact figures were not confirmed. No neighbors objected after renewed notice was given, and no members of the public spoke at the hearing.
The board member called the open-porch design "a real improvement" that makes the house "more welcoming," noting it appeared to restore a porch the house previously had before it was enclosed. The board found adequate grounds and granted the permit with no recorded opposition.
